My car was not driven on the street much but I did take it to the track a bunch which is going to beat on it a lot more than the street anyway. It could have lasted 2+ years on the street if I wasn't making wot blasts to 7000+rpms every time I drove it, but I was shooting for a 9 second pass with the stock block and stock 4l60e. It was the high rpms I was reving it to at the track that killed it. Even though it didn't last long with that kind of abuse, it did hold up very well to what I was throwing at it. 680rwhp with 20+ low 10 second passes with a stock 346 and stock 4l60e. I think that's impressive no matter how long it lasts, the stock 346 was just not built to take that kind of abuse but I'm still amazed it went before the 4l60e. The pass it blew up on would have been my first 9 second slip but it blew before the finish and still got a 10.1 at 131 and the pass before that I blew the launch but trapped 138. The vid is still fun to watch:
